Chapter 60 Senior Foundation Establishment
"Hey, it's you. Why haven't I seen you? I thought you weren't coming." The young man with the golden crown said when he saw Lu Xiaotian.
"This senior is joking. This junior has finally collected all the spiritual objects in order to join Lingxiao Palace. How could he not come?" Lu Xiaotian said.
"Junior Brother Hou, do you know him?" the thin woman asked.
"I met him once. This boy is a little strange. He collected a lot of spiritual herbs that Qingdan Palace wanted but sold them all to join our Lingxiao Palace. Do you think it's strange?" said the golden crown young man. said one voice.
"Really?" The old man surnamed Zhao's eyes suddenly shone, like two golden sword lights stabbing towards Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian felt uncomfortable all over, as if he was walking naked in the ice and snow. Under the eyes of this old man, there was no room for hiding. The cultivation levels of the two sides were too different, and Lu Xiaotian couldn't resist at all, so he could only let it go.
“Go and register.” After a long while, the old man surnamed Zhao withdrew his gaze and said expressionlessly.
"Senior Brother Zhao, do you think this guy is suspicious?" said the only short black old man at the table who had never spoken.
"Well, several demonic sects have been trying to make a move recently, and the palace master has given us orders to prevent demonic spies from sneaking into Lingxiao Palace. All people with suspicious origins should be careful." The old man surnamed Zhao nodded.
The young man named Hou Jin Guan glanced at the spiritual root test results over there, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Even if you send a spy, you have to send someone decent. At least he has to have some strength. This kid is a bit weird, but he is definitely not like those talents. Yi Lin's genius, it would be great if he could reach the perfection of Qi Refining in this life. In Lingxiao Palace, there are tens of thousands of people at least. Even if they are spies, what kind of trouble can they make?"
Seeing that the color of Lu Xiaotian's spiritual root on the jade plate was still beating, it didn't stop at all. Meaning, the old man surnamed Zhao looked surprised, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed on his face. It seemed that he was indeed worrying too much.
"Senior, what kind of spiritual root is this junior?" Lu Xiaotian was also a little puzzled. The old man in black robe had tested it for him before, but he couldn't tell the reason. Now that he is no longer a newbie who has just entered the world of cultivation, he knows the importance of spiritual roots. Since the other party is a powerful foundation-building monk sent by the Immortal Sect, he should know more.
"This" a trace of embarrassment flashed across the face of the old man. He had never seen such anomalies during the spiritual root test. "Your spiritual roots cannot be explained, and they are not like the strange spiritual roots in the inheritance. I can't explain why. But since you have completed the task of the palace gate of this palace, you have some opportunities with me. Maybe You can try the exercises of each system to see which one is more suitable for you to practice. It should be the department you correspond to.”
“Well, the test is over. You can go to the small courtyard in front and stay there. I will notify you when I finish the test and registration for all the new disciples. "The old man surnamed Zhao is not willing to waste time on Lu Xiaotian anymore.
After the handyman Qi Refining monk saw Lu Xiaotian's poor spiritual roots, he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. With this kind of qualification, even if he got into Lingxiao Palace by luck, he wouldn't do anything in the future.
Lu Xiaotian touched his nose and followed the monk's instructions and came down from the attic to the courtyard downstairs. There are already twenty-five or six monks in the courtyard. The oldest one is a fat old man dressed like a Yuanwailang, who is in the late stages of Qi refining.
Guo Yun, who had not dealt with him before, seemed to have met a few acquaintances and had a pleasant conversation with several other family monks in Wangyue City. Guo Yun left the attic without the oppressive feeling he felt in front of the foundation-building monks. Guo Yun once again showed his true colors and mocked Lu Xiaotian, "Oh, who dared to be so arrogant to me before? It's just a guy who doesn't even know his spiritual roots, and he doesn't know how he got here now. It's really sad."
“What, you don’t even know about spiritual roots?” Several other monks from cultivating families laughed loudly when they heard this.
A stern look flashed in Lu Xiaotian's eyes, but this is not a place for fierce fighting. The stern look flashed past. Lu Xiaotian didn't seem to hear what Guo Yun was saying, and just found a corner to sit on his own. Down. Most of the people in the courtyard are monks from the Immortal Cultivation Clan in Wangyue City, and only a few are from casual cultivators. With the help of family resources, people like Guo Yun can more easily obtain the spiritual objects required in the Immortal Sect mission than ordinary casual cultivators. .
Except for these old people who gathered together, other casual cultivators separated in twos and threes. The two sides are clearly divided.
The red-faced man from before also finished registration and came in. He snorted when he saw Guo Yun looking arrogant, but seeing that there were many people there, he didn't get too close to Lu Xiaotian this time.
When they met by chance, Lu Xiaotian naturally did not expect that the other party would be the same enemy as him. He glanced at the monks around him, then closed his eyes and meditated. Not long after he was promoted to the sixth level of Qi Refining, he had taken a lot of medicine in the past two days. There are few elixirs, and the barrier is filled with floating spiritual energy. This spiritual energy needs to be refined as soon as possible to consolidate the current cultivation level.
After running for a week, Lu Xiaotian’s mind moved again when he heard a word of flattery. He couldn’t help but opened his eyes and saw a sturdy young man who was dressed like a farmer and looked quite rustic. He took out a fire spirit stone and handed it to the young monk who had been doing odd jobs for them to test their spiritual roots. "This is a big brother, it's just a small thing, it's disrespectful. Can you ask me something?"
"Brother, I started my career earlier than you, and my cultivation level is higher than most of you. My surname is Wu, and I want to call you Senior Brother Wu. Is a low-grade spiritual stone sent to a beggar?" the monk named Wu, the handyman, reprimanded with a straight face.
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from the monks in the family, among whom Guo Yun and a young man named Liu laughed the most.
The sturdy young man suddenly looked embarrassed, and his originally dark face suddenly swelled into the color of pig liver. This sturdy young man is called Peng Dayong. He was originally a farmer, and he embarked on the journey of cultivating immortality in a confused way. On the way, he went through life and death several times in the Wangyue Mountains, and almost exhausted all the spiritual stones on his body before he collected all these spiritual objects in dangerous and dangerous ways, leaving only a few low-grade spiritual stones on his body. He reluctantly took out a piece, but unexpectedly he was laughed at. This made him so embarrassed and angry that he did not dare to argue with the monk named Wu, so he stepped aside in frustration.
"Senior Brother Wu, my subordinate Guo Yun, I would like to ask Senior Brother Wu to accept it." Guo Yun took out ten low-grade spiritual stones and stuffed them into the hands of the sturdy young man.
“Easy to say, easy to say.” The monk surnamed Wu’s eyes lit up, thinking that people from the family are different. They know the rules and are generous with their actions. However, these spiritual stones can only answer a few questions at most. If he is really asked to do anything, he will definitely not do it.
"When I came to sign up just now, there were four foundation-building seniors sitting in the attic talking and laughing. If I dare to ask senior brother who these four seniors are and what their likes and dislikes are, we can avoid it. So as not to make the seniors unhappy and violate taboos," Guo Yunpei asked with a smile. He was scolded by the old man Zhao just now. Although he did not dare to argue, he was still afraid, so he was particularly concerned about this matter.
Hearing Guo Yun's question, everyone else's ears pricked up. What Guo Yun wanted to ask was exactly what others wanted to know.
The monk surnamed Wu also went through a lot of hardships to join Lingxiao Palace. Seeing the expressions of many disciples in the courtyard and not knowing what they were thinking, even Lu Xiaotian pricked up his ears.
The monk surnamed Wu sneered, the one who produced the spirit stone was Guo Yun, how could he let others know so easily. So he leaned into Guo Yun's ear and whispered a few words.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Wu, for reminding me. I’m very grateful.” Guo Yun said with emotion on his face.
"No need, you got the spirit stone, so I should give you a few words. It's not like some disciples who are extremely stingy and want to take advantage of you. How can there be such a good thing in this world?" The monk surnamed Wu hummed. The sound put the spirit stone away.
